Secure Internet Live Conferencing

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Newsforge has an article about new generation secure chat protocol called SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing). The article features the protocol and its features like secure file transfer. Interesting article and very interesting protocol." We posted a story about SILC last year; looks like they've come a long way since then.

Re:Secure talking not very common

Somehow, it is quite hard to _really_ initiate a secure communication without much work.

I won't say anything insightful here, but when I need a Secure Internet Live Conferencing(tm) to safely talk about some top secret stuff with people I work with, then we just connect to our server with ssh, run BitchX and use a local IRC daemon. Quite easy and secure for me, especially when most of the work is in shell anyway.
